Experiencing Interruptions?

Social Disconnect

Fourteen-year-old Kyle feels increasingly isolated as his sister, Gaby, becomes consumed by social media. Once a vibrant presence in their home, Gaby now spends all her time glued to her phone, disconnected from her family and the world around her. Their father mourns the loss of the daughter who used to join them at the dinner table, while Kyle struggles with the significant influence of social media in his relationships.

"Social Disconnect" is a moving exploration of the effects of social media on personal relationships, demonstrating the emotional toll of digital addiction and the desperate need for genuine human connection.
